Striped Malin and Sailfish on the boat, lost big Blue Marlin.
Mahi Mahi are around but still small.
Dead and live Googleeye for bait, the Blue one got the lure.
Good beginning of the season! Read Full Report →

Greate action with Fishingbooker.com Customer Hoi Lun Gorlon Ko, close to the shore! One Mahi Mahi and one Sailfish on board and Marlin was behind the lures also, but did not bite!

We had a great day. Captain Gabrielle is the best! Before we even got on the boat we talked about our expectations for the day. He made it very clear to us that if we wanted to practice catch and release he was 100% for that. An earlier review of this captain made comments about him not wanting to release a catch and supposedly clubbing it to death. I find these accusations very difficult to believe. Captain Gabrielle was very conscientious and interested in taking care of the environment. One fish that we did catch was out of the water a little too long in order for us to remove the hook and unfortunately looked like it wasn’t going to make it when we put it back in the water. Captain Gabrielle was visibly disappointed . The day started out slow and we were not able to catch any mahi.
I told Captain Gabrielle I also wanted to catch a rooster fish. It was obvious to me that he knew these waters very well. We went right to an area that was known to have rooster fish. We saw quite a few of them in the water but unfortunately were not able to get any of them to bite. As you can see in the photograph I did Catch a beautiful Jack and my friend pulled in a nice skipjack tuna. We caught another fish throughout the day, needlefish, Bonita, among others. Captain and crew went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The boat was well-maintained and comfortable. The captain even offered to share his lunch with us. Captain Gabrielle was knowledgeable and aware of his surroundings constantly looking for bird signs or churning in the water. I may not have caught my rooster fish but I certainly had the best chartered fishing experience of my life. There are no guarantees when you go fishing. That’s why they call it fishing and not catching. For what some would’ve thought was a slow day on the water we had a blast. The next time we are in Puerto Vallarta you can believe we will book with Captain Gabrielle

My husband and I were in PVR for vacation and were looking for a fishing charter to book while we were there. I chose Super Panga Tres Estrellas because it came highly rated on Fishing Booker and had solid-seeming reviews. We were not disappointed. We went out on a quick 4-hour trip with Niko and had a great time. He was extremely hard working, professional, and very knowledgable, both about fishing and the local history. He was also just a really fun personality and did everything he could to make sure we had a great time. I’d definitely recommend this charter, and next time we go back, we’re definitely going out for longer!

What a fantastic day with Gabriel and his son Angel. It was our first fishing trip and Gabriel did everything to make it a success. He is very knowledgeable, professional and has a super upbeat attitude. His crew mate was his son Angel and Angel is very nice, thoughtful and helpful. They make a very good team! We started the trip with an early encounter with dolphins. As soon as our son spotted them, Gabriel directed the boat in their direction so we could get a closer look. Then came the whales, and again Gabriel ensured we got the best observation experience. Then came the fishing. We were very lucky as the first fish we caught was a mahi-mahi so the excitement was high. We sometimes got very busy on the boat with everyone working a line (5 passengers, Gabriel and Angel)! Our catch: 1 mahi-mahi, 17 bonitas and 2 skipjack tunas! On our way back, we encountered a pod of 5 whales and got the most amazing encounter experience as one of them came very close to the boat - a wonderful way to top off the day! Thanks to Gabriel and Angel!

We had a boat reserved for our foursome group, it was having the boat all to ourselves. We brought snacks, lunch and beers; which there was an ice chest on the boat ready for us. We stopped at a private, accessible only by boat town, to use the bathroom, grab a drink or lunch. Because the fishing was slower, our captain added an extra snoring adventure near a coral reef where he gave us a mini tour of the area. We had an absolute last and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun captain.

I have done many salmon fishing trips in California. I have to say this was the best saltwater fishing trip I’ve ever been on. Captain Nikolai did a great job. When a Dorado went under the motors, we got it unstuck. I was running the boat while he cleared the line, and I did not lose the fish. The trip started at 7 a.m. and by 8 we are on the fish. I caught three nice Dorados and 1 Skipjack.
